SPEAK DANISH TO LEARN DANISH
The Pimsleur Method will have you speaking Danish in just a few short, easy-to-use lessons. Learn at your own pace, comfortably and conveniently. No books to study. No memorization drills.

LEARN DANISH AS YOU LEARNED ENGLISH
You learned English by listening. With Pimsleur, you listen to learn Danish. This Language Program was developed by renowned memory expert, Dr. Paul Pimsleur. His research led him to the realization that the most important use of memory is in language learning. Based on this, Dr. Pimsleur designed a learning program that works for any language. The Pimsleur Language Program is an integrated system which immerses you in the language, encouraging you to hear, understand and use the language all at the same time.

Now you can take advantage of Dr. Pimsleur's research. At the completion of these eight lessons you will comfortably understand and speak at a beginner level.

Small but functional, May 11, 2002
Reviewer: jimpegwe from Springfield, MO United States
I was surprised that this itty-bitty dictionary had so many words in it! Also, it has a small grammar section and a few helpful quick-reference sections (such as ordering in a restaurant).

This dictionary is helpful for when I'm chatting online with my Danish friends and need to look up a word that isn't in my vocabulary yet. Eventually though, I plan to purchase those big red Engelsk-Dansk/Danish-English dictionaries! That will have to wait until after I am out of college though.

A mixture of methods is best, April 15, 2002
Reviewer: nmurrayaus from Canberra, Australia & Aabenraa, Danmark
To begin speaking Danish immediately, the Pimsleur course is best. But you will end up with a few stock phrases and a very limited vocabulary. So after you finish Pimsleur, start to use Teach Yourself Danish (TYD). You'll be surprised at how much appreciation of grammar the Pimsleur course gives you without you having to concentrate on it. TYD provides a lot more vocabulary and examples, explains enough of the grammar to know how the language works, and should be used along side other books or tapes.

But the cassettes ought to provide MUCH MORE listening practice, and as little English chatter as possible. This is where TYD, Colloquial Danish, and Danish in 3 months all fall short: too much English on the tapes.

Note: TYD is unashamedly British-centric. It makes a good change from the usual USA-centricity of other courses (such as Pimsleur and Berlitz) and from the at-times incomprehensible American acccents on the Danish Vocabulearn tapes.
